Title is Change by Taylor Swift

The Kalos League had been an emotional rollercoaster for Ash, culminating in a second-place loss that left him feeling both proud of his journey and deeply disappointed in the outcome. As he returned to his room in Lumiose City, he couldn't shake the weight of his unfulfilled dream of becoming a Pokémon Master.

Serena sensed Ash's turmoil the moment he walked through the door. She had been his closest companion throughout their Kalos journey, and she knew the depth of his determination and the pain of his near misses in past leagues. She wanted to be there for him, to help him heal, but she also knew he needed to confront his feelings.

Silently, Serena watched as Ash paced the room, his frustration evident in every step. Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, she spoke up. "Ash, we need to talk."

He turned to her, his eyes reflecting a mixture of exhaustion and inner turmoil. "Serena, I just can't believe it. I was so close, and yet..."

Serena approached him and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "I know it's tough, Ash, but this isn't the end. You've come so far, and you've inspired so many people with your passion and determination."

Ash's frustration welled up, and he shook his head. "But I've never won a League, Serena. It's like I'm stuck in this endless loop of trying and failing."

Serena took a deep breath, her voice filled with unwavering support. "Ash, I've seen you overcome impossible odds, defeat powerful opponents, and evolve as a Trainer and as a person. You've touched the lives of so many people, including mine. Don't give up until it's over."

Ash stared at her, his expression a mix of confusion and longing. "But what if I never win? What if I keep falling short?"

Serena's gaze remained steady. "Then you keep trying. As long as you have the drive and the love for Pokémon battles, you keep pushing forward. Remember, you've always told me that the journey is as important as the destination. Your journey is far from over, Ash."

A moment of silence hung in the air as Ash absorbed Serena's words. Slowly, the weight of his disappointment began to lift, replaced by a renewed sense of purpose. He realized that he had allowed his momentary loss to overshadow all the victories and growth he had achieved along the way.

Finally, he smiled at Serena, his eyes filled with determination. "You're right, Serena. Giving up isn't an option. I'll keep striving to become a Pokémon Master, and I won't stop until I reach that goal."

Serena beamed with pride, knowing that her words had reached him. She wrapped her arms around him in a comforting hug. "I'll be right by your side, cheering you on every step of the way."

As Ash and Serena embraced, they found strength in each other's unwavering support. The Kalos League might have been a setback, but it was just one chapter in their ongoing adventure. Together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead and continue to chase their dreams with unyielding determination.
